What is Lovable?

Lovable is an AI-powered web app builder. You describe what you want in plain English, and it generates a full React + Tailwind frontend with a live preview. Unlike Wix, the output is real code you can export, host anywhere, and version-control.

FAQ

Can I edit a Wix site with Lovable?

Lovable builds new sites from prompts; it does not edit Wix sites directly. You can rebuild a Wix site's content in Lovable and host it elsewhere.

Do I own the code from Lovable?

Yes. You can export the code or sync it to GitHub and host it yourself.
